About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore! Off the beaten path.... see places that make me grow.
ABOUT ME
I'm relaxed, easy-going, adaptable, and love meeting new and interesting people. I really like encountering new experiences and folks that think and are thoughtful, because I there is so much to learn. I'm a professional, university educated creative; an Industrial Designer (extra points to Americans who know what that is!). My job involves solving problems and creating products and solutions that are attractive, easy to use, and make life easier. I naturally do this in about everything I do; I'm an instinctive repairer of anything that I find broken...
Visited 27 states (12%)
PHILOSOPHY
Learn. Do what is right. Live with integrity, really; you can't fake that. try to always remember that everyone is here for a reason. Be kind to others; be kind to yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Dive the Maldives before everyone knew about it.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach, maybe..... about hope? There is soooo much out there! I listen well, and usually figure out pretty quickly what people are really looking for. I mentor start-ups as a vocation, so I'm used to looking at things from different perspectives, and maybe discovering aspects and qualities in things that nobody realized were there:)
